Personal Injury Attorney in San Francisco
Accidents Involving an Uninsured Motorist
Accidents can be extremely emotional and trying events, both mentally and physically. Not only do you have to deal with injuries, repairs, police reports, claims and insurance companies, you may also have to deal with figuring out a source of income while you are recovering from your injuries. Add to that the extra paperwork, investigations and claims involved, if an uninsured motorist was at fault in the accident you will have more than you could reasonably be expected to deal with.
Motorists are legally required to carry sufficient insurance. Despite this fact, it is estimated that around 15% of all U.S. drivers do not have any insurance coverage. That is above and beyond the number of drivers who carry insurance insufficient to cover medical expenses, repairs and lost wages in the event of a major accident. As a result, if you are injured in an accident involving an uninsured motorist it may be extremely difficult to receive full compensation for the injuries and damages you received during the accident.

Accidents Involving an Uninsured Motorist
Don't be fooled. Insurance companies, like most businesses, are there to make money for their stockholders, and answer to a Board of Directors . That is simply their business model. Due to this fact, when it comes time to pay out on an insurance claim, especially if an uninsured motorist was at fault, many insurance companies will strive for a quick settlement in order to payout the least possible amount. Other insurance companies will attempt to unnecessarily delay your compensation claim in order to draw out the investigation process, thus hoping to force you to settle for a lesser amount.
Don't let insurance companies intimidate you. You do have rights. You deserve to get the compensation you are owed for the injuries and damages you sustained during the accident, even if an uninsured motorist was at fault. Let us fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
